Thanksgiving

Josh and I had a great Thanksgiving weekend in Alberta. Josh's brother Jared and his cousin Amanda and her boyfriend came up for the weekend from PRBI. We had a lot of laughs playing games and visiting till the wee hours of the morning. It was great to spend a weekend with family and friends. God is so so good!

Josh's little cousins also came to visit on Saturday. They are all such cute kids. The oldest two were our flowergirl and ringbearer. These are the younger two, Alex and Sabrina. So cute!





Josh had a lot of fun playing on the trampoline with the boys. We also brought out a big box of lego for the kids...well by kids I mean Josh and Jared who were digging around and building lego houses and cars and having more fun building then the kids were! I'm starting to learn that Phillips boys are all kids at heart. I see this in John, Josh's dad. Almost 50, but he's just like a big kid :)

Here is a picture of Amanda and her boyfriend, Ryan. It was great to visit with him and get to know him a little better. He's a great guy and they are so cute together!

Josh was in charge of making a dessert for Thanksgiving dinner. So this year, along with pumpking pie, we had the pleasure of eating "Death by Chocolate". It was soooo good. You have a layer of chocolate cake, a layer of chocolate pudding, then whip cream and pieces of Score bar. Repeat each layer and voila, you have a 300 calorie per serving dessert. Not that anybody was counting :)
